Star is an awesome minimalist dream, lightweight, and super fast distribution based on Devuan. Can't get any faster or smaller memory footprint. Uses live-build with Debian/Devuan installer, coupled with a few applications OOTB to get a user up and going, not a bloated distro.

Configured for speed and boast several Wm's, Xfce also a netinstall distro.

Came across Star years ago while distro hopping, still using it now. The very best Linux has to offer.
